I don't know how true it is but they are rated for 30000 hours. If I use them 5 hours a day they would last 16 years. I would be happy if they last 5 years.

There are a lot of reviews saying they last less than half a year. Also people saying it's blinding other drivers. I don't see any DOT approval. @36W they draw the same amount of power as halogens.

I'll stick with my sealed headlights with nice thick glass in front that never gets hazy.

I'll be getting mine tomorrow. I'll do a quick review, take a few pictures, a couple of readings with my light meter.
